Is it just me, or are there an alarming number people dying lately?? It is crazy. Like every day you hear about yet another death. And what makes it worse is that a lot of those people are young people who should have had their whole lives ahead of them.
Well these deaths, though they may not be close to me, have got me to thinking. What is my purpose in life?? I mean I could die tomorrow. I don't think too many people wake up on their last day and say, "Okay, I am going to die today." A lot of times, they never suspect it. I mean if you are not old or sick, you are not going to spend too many days anticipating your last moment. (Unless you are just dark and depressed like that.)
So, like I said, these deaths have made me think. If I died tomorrow, what would I be remembered for?? Would I just be "that pregnant girl from my English class". I don't know what I could do at this point to be remembered. What big, great thing I can do so my legacy lives on. I just hope I live long enough to figure it out. There is so much that I have planned for my life. And so much that I want to see and experience. I haven't even reached my 21st birthday!! That's the most important one.
Well I guess all I can do is live each day to the fullest, work toward my goals, and roll with whatever may come in my life. This has just been on my mind, so I decided to convert it into a blog...

I know exactly how you feel. A friend of mine died this summer and after that I just thought about it all the time. Because it seems so surreal. I mean she was my age. It could have been me. We live like we're invincible but when you start thinking about it, it just engulfs our mind. It's like the hardest thing to think about. I already think you'll have something to be remembered by once you have your baby. That's something that will always be conncted to you, so in a way you already have a legacy, which is awesome.
